The Piano Inn and Cafe

  Helping Port Perry institution The Piano Inn and Cafe get

back on its feet after a fire was such a unique, fulfilling experience! 

Decluttering and activity-based zoning to create flow in the busy commercial kitchen were the priorities for this project. Working with an amazing team of women with a deep knowledge of the inner workings of the Cafe, we maximized space from floor to ceiling, bringing backstock from the basement to the kitchen, reducing trips up and down the stairs. A well-stocked, updated “take-out station” took efficiency to the next level, gifting time back to staff and customers. While the Cafe's galley kitchen had ample storage space, staff height and high traffic areas were primary considerations in designing storage. Pinpointing and installing effective, highly durable storage solutions increased access to stock as well as visibility, ensuring this small business could function as seamlessly as possible. 

The warmth and dedication of the staff, as well as the beauty of the refreshed, streamlined space has made The Piano Inn and Cafe one of my new favourite places in Port Perry.
